Sermon by: Bro Tumisang Gaotilwe
TITLE :MESSENGER/SERVANT OF GOD
🌱A messenger is a person who carries the message of the cross.
🌱A messenger is the embodiment of the word of God.
🌱He is a man who believes in God and operates fully in the presence of God himself.
🌱A messenger should be a person of a steadfast spirit: A man who believes in God through every circumstance, through poverty, through unemployment, through riches.
🌱He is a man that believes that in all he trusts God
and carries faith like Job.
As a christian who is a messenger in the Kingdom, you need to have unshakeable faith, built on a rock
🥀As a messenger to be approved by God, you need to have love, to be a righteous person, to be a faithful person and extend these qualities to the people around you.
Unless you do that, the master cannot trust you.
🥀It is our duty to attract the presence of God in our lives
The bible says, we are all children of God, but to carry the kingdom to people we need to have the heart of God.
God permitted the devil, to test his servant Job, because he knew his heart. It was built on his unshakeable faith.
He was tested in all things,he lost everything, he lost his children, he also got sick.
To a point that his wife said, “why don’t you forsake God and leave him just like he did you”
What we learn is the devil knew that if he can send his wife, to tell him to curse God, he will fall into it.
But Job remained his hope in God.
🥀In whatever circumstance, do not lose your faith in God. You are a messenger close to God’s heart, he will never leave you.
🌱A messenger is a man who trust fully in God. He is not a man that lives to please those around him. That is why Paul said, “fix your eyes in the things not of this world but the things above”
The riches of this world cannot save you, but God’s word.
🌱A messenger must possess faith like Job
He should be a prayerful person. Prayer gives God residence in your heart.
A prayerful man is backed up by God
When you pray, you tell God this is what I want to happen here on earth and the heavens can agree with you.
🥀In the book of Mark, the bible says whatever you pray for , has been given to you.
When you pray and ask for something, God gives it you. But it doesn’t happen miraculously , he will give you an opportunity to nurture that what he has given you so that you can have it.
🌱A messenger must be a man of Love
📖1John 4:7
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. “
🥀Love is a strong feeling of passion. Through love, you are born of God.
Your heart must be open for everyone, that is how we know, this is a man sanctified by God.
🥀A loving person shall never judge, if you stand to judge, you don’t have God.
The golden rule, “Do unto others what you would like them to do unto you” should stay in the heart of a messenger
🥀Love is the foundation of faith.
🌱A messenger is the light of the world. And it should reflect in how you live with people. A messenger should attract, and give hope to the people around him/herself.
🥀Light is how you live your life, and if people wants to live like you, that is how you know you are a messenger.
🌱A messenger lives his/her life in a distinguished way. We should not be like the world. A messenger is different.
We should live like how Christ lived, be a righteous man and be people that are pleasing to God.
🥀We should be true and faithful ambassadors to the word of God.
🥀We ought to transform our lives and be good messengers of God.
🥀 We reference this from the scripture, “This book of the law, should never depart from our lips.” A messenger ought to meditate on the word, and live the word.
